Trump: ‘Nobody Has Done So Much for Equality as I Have’

STEPHANOPOULOS: “Mr. Donald Trump, he joins us now by phone. And Mr. Trump, it looks like you’re poised for some big wins tonight here on Super Tuesday. But that CNN interview continues to make waves. You’ve seen that tweet from Mitt Romney, he called your response disqualifying and disgusting, says your coddling of repugnant bigotry is not in the character of America. Your response?”
TRUMP: “Well first of all, Mitt Romney is a failed candidate, should have won the race and he failed miserably. He was a terrible candidate for the Republicans. Secondly, David Duke and all was disavowed. I disavowed him on Friday. I disavowed him right after that because I thought if there was any question and you take a look at Twitter, almost immediately after, on Twitter and Facebook, they were disavowed again. I disavowed him every time I speak to somebody virtually and you know, they just keep it going. They keep it going and they said, ‘oh, we never looked at your Twitter account. We never looked at Facebook.’ I said take a look at Facebook, it was totally disavowed.”
STEPHANOPOULOS: “So, are you prepared right now to make a clear and unequivocal statement renouncing the support of all white supremacists?”
TRUMP: “Of course, I am. Of course, I am. I mean, there’s nobody that’s done so much for equality as I have. You take a look at Palm Beach, Florida, I built a Mar-a-Lago-Club, totally open to everybody, a club that frankly set a new standard and a new standard in clubs and a new standard in Palm Beach, and I’ve gotten great credit for it. That is totally open to everybody. So, of course, I am.”
